This bug is very similar to bug 55085 which appears to be abandoned. The difference is that I reproduce it on Linux, not MacOS. So, here're steps to reproduce: 1. Start Writer 2. Format-Page-Landscape-OK 3. Type "test" or anything else 4. Ctrl+P, OK 5. Take the page out of the printer and see that instead of normal landscape printout you get a turned & cropped version, i.e. landscape data on portrait printout. I've tested LibO 3.5-4.1, and bug reproduces in all versions. Workaround is similar to that mentioned in bug 55085 - export to PDF and print from PDF viewer, which then works OK. I'm using AcuLaser C1100 and CUPS 1.5.0.
do you still see this in 4.0.5 or 4.1.1?
I saw it in 4.1.1

This problem still exists with printing in landscape; it only turns the portrait output 90 degrees before printing. Must I export the page in PDF format first before printing to get all columns which should appear in landscape mode? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 55085 ***
Re-opening, as ERS has confirmed that bug still present. Removing DUP status as : 1) that previous bug report did not receive sufficient information from the original poster to be able to reproduce, and 2) it concerned OSX and not Linux. Alex
An user on IRC had the same problem on 4.2.2.1 on more than one computer, I can't replicate it though. The pdf workaround works.
looks like this is confirmed (maybe?) moving to NEW as REOPENED is incorrect status.

I have retested this issue using LibreOffice 5.3.4.2 on a PCLinuxOS machine using kernel 4.12.7, and the problem with a Landscape page printing the text in Portrait instead of Landscape as selected is still present. I verified that it is not just my printer causing the problem by testing the same landscape page in a different word processing application (Abiword 3.0.2) and it did print correctly when I tried that. Not sure what the problem is in LibreOffice but it is still printing incorrectly when the page is set to Landscape.
@Alex Thurgood Why did you change Linux to MacOSX? The original report was about Linux version, and the latest reproducer's comment was about reproducing the problem on PCLinuxOS.
Sorry, was working on several related bugs on OSX - corrected.
I have retested this using both an updated PCLinuxOS install and Ubuntu 17.04 and in these test the print worked as needed. I used format page to landscape, copied & pasted text used from previous test, printed....all text was printed correctly in landscape format. It appears this has been fixed but the version of LibreOffice on Ubuntu is older than the version found on PCLOS. Perhaps an "operator error" on my part? But it is working now, so I am happy.
I still reproduce this with LibreOffice 5.4.2.2 downloaded from libreoffice.org on the same system as originally (LFS with CUPS 1.5.0).
Mac OS 10.13.1, Libre Version: 5.4.3.2 Format:Page:Page:Letter/Orientation:Portrait File:Print Preview - appears in Portrait. Select printer icon, print preview indicates landscape, actual print is landscape. 12-14-17
This bug appears in the wild. See https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/121393/libreoffice-540-writer-portrait-document-prints-as-landscape/ and https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/88250/printing-page-orientation-wrong-in-os-x/ . (And it impacts my wife too, so now it's high priority! ;)
Replies referring to macOS are irrelevant here; that problem is fixed in bug 92190.
@Ruslan: I doubt that this was actually confirmed independently here (both EDWARD R SCOTT in comment 4, and edonkey2001-libreoffice@yahoo.it in comment 6 failed to mention the OS at least); though there are some indications that similar problems indeed happen on some Linux boxes (https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/57515/stuck-in-landscape-but-i-chose-portrait-help/ - see comment by timbopt to original question). Still, it seems highly specific to some boxes; and it's still not clear how to reproduce the problem. You seem to have it consistently since long ago, throughout many versions. I suppose it's on the same box? No HW changes? Could you try to reproduce on e newly installed system (say, in a VM)? If it doesn't reproduce there, then could you try to find the differences in configurations, to nail problem down?

I no longer actively use LibO, and this bug has a workaround for me. Since I seem to be the only one who experiences it, I'm closing it as "works for me" (where "me" is everyone but myself).
